Board Fan Causing Print Problems
-
Hello All,
My delta began life as an "AnyCubic Kossel Linear Plus" printer, kit. It arrived fully disassembled in a big cardboard and styrofoam segregated box and bags of parts. It was a fun build. But assembled, I could not cause it to work, no matter how much I fiddled around with it. A few weeks later the controller board caught fire. The vendor I bought the kit from had disasspeared (an Amazon vendor), and factory was a 'no reply'. I tracked down and found DC42's fabulous DUET3D controller. From that time, I have now replaced every part aside from the stepper motors and 2020 profiles. Everything has been replaced. And now it works, with a bit of advice from the fine folks here on the DUET forums.
My first major problem with my DUET configuration was hot-end temperature problems. That problem was eventually diagnosed as loose heater wire in the connector. Fixed!
The second major problem was mishaped printed parts, I finally diagnosed that as the fan I mounted on DUET controller enclosure was blowing a draft airstream directly on to the print bed!! Hah hah. And don't open the door next to the printer if its windy and cold outside either.
Discovering the proper bed and print temperatures for your selected filament is also very usefull!
So, I'm finally actually printing parts that appear as they are supposed be!
